Reaction Steps

More specifically, we have found that chlorobenzene reacts with ethyl acrylate to form ethyl cinnamate in relatively high yield by reacting the chlorobenzene with iodide and/or bromide ion to form a mixture of chlorobenzene, iodobenzene and/or bromobenzene, then reacting the mixture with ethyl acrylate in the presence of a catalyst to form ethyl cinnamate.
